SmelliRelli Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Perhaps this is in the wrong place, but: how is the "Universal" support for the 8.10.1 kernel? Does it work on both AMD & Intel, as well as SSE3 & SSE2? I'm an SSE2 user who is quite curious. Excellent work so far guys; keep up the good work!

PsyCHotIc phREak Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Work fine for mi except Apple disk mount imager. Say device not configured. Any idea for solutions? Regards. Had the same problem. Try: 1) Open terminal and enter "sudo nano /etc/rc" 2) Go to the very bottom of the file 3) there you can read "exit 0". On the line above it add kextunload -c com.apple.AppleDiskImageController kextload -b com.apple.AppleDiskImageController 4) It should look like this: fi kextunload -c com.apple.AppleDiskImageController kextload -b com.apple.AppleDiskImageController exit 0 5) Exit the editor, saving your changes, reboot and it should work again.

Lkr Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm on Intel and like to know as well. I'm on 10.4.10. Everything works for me except system profiler. About this mac is fine, but system profiler crashes. Any ideas? you need the 10.4.4loginwindow. PM me and I can link you to it, or on your Installation DVD, it should be under the following directory: /System/Installation/Packages/loginwindow.10.4.4.pkg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCow Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm kind of new to backing up some of these things, and the filesystem / directory layout of OSX, I was wondering. In one of the steps it says to "backup /mach_kernel" I was wondering, where is this located? Or what is it? I know the .kext's that I need to back up. I used a X1600 series Natit.kext installer from DiaboliK and I'm sure that I have to back those .kext's up. I have a IONetworkFamily.kext for my Intel Ethernet that I know I have to back up. and all then .kext's listed in the first post. I'm just not sure about the /mach_kernel. Help would be greately appericated, Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BladeRunner Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I just wanted to say thanks to Josh256 and others for the help. I updated my 10.4.9 system to 10.4.10 and all appears to be running just fine. I downloaded the 10.4.10 kernel and r3d3.k3xt from links on the #10.4.10 irc, backed up the /System/Library/Extensions directory and ran System Preferences -> Software Update to add the 10.4.10 and security updates. I manually replaced the *NVD*, AppleSMBIOS, AppleACPI*, AppleAPIC*, and IOATA* kexts from the 10.4.9 backup and inserted the new r3d3.kext and 10.4.10 mach_kernel. The system restarted and ran without a problem - so far. Again, thanks to others for their work and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maculas Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Thank you Lkr! I installed it, all went very smooth, now I'm with the 8.10.1 kernel. But I have a problem! When I enter OS X, the system hangs like something's loading, i looked at the Activity monitor, but there is nothing suspicious. I don't know what's the reason for that! But it seems it's something from my last kernel update, when I updated to koolkal's last kernel! Since than, every time I start my OS X it hangs for about 30 seconds, and than everything is ready! Interesting but it happens even on 8.10.1! If someone know what's the reason for this, please tell me, because it's annoying. Once again thank you Lkr! P.S. I saw the process which may cause my problem, it's called update_prebindin! It seems that, when it's loading the whole system hangs, and when it disappear everything is back to normal! I just don't know how to stop this process from starting up with the operating system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 MACulas I need some help. what exactly did you do to install and were you on 10.4.10 when installing the kernel? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, good, I'm not the only one with the same problem. It doesn't hang my system it just makes it a bit slow for a minute. I can't find the command that's running it in any of the maintenance files or startup directories so I'm not sure what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maculas Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 MACulas I need some help. what exactly did you do to install and were you on 10.4.10 when installing the kernel? thanks What I did was: 1.To rename my old kernel from mach_kernel to mach_kernel_backup 2.To put the new kernel on the same place 3.To copy the r3d3.kext in my /System/Library/Extensions folder 4.To start Terminal.app and type the following commands: chmod -R 755 /Volumes/MAC\ OS\ X/mach_kernel chmod -R root:wheel /Volumes/MAC\ OS\ X/mach_kernel and chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/r3d3.kext/ chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/r3d3.kext/ than sudo diskutil repairpermissions / and finally reboot That's it! Simple as that! After restart the system loaded and everything was OK! Ah, good, I'm not the only one with the same problem. It doesn't hang my system it just makes it a bit slow for a minute. I can't find the command that's running it in any of the maintenance files or startup directories so I'm not sure what's going on. It seems that the problem is caused by the Application Enhancer! I was on the unsanity web site, and there was a solution for this problem! They suggested to update my current Application Enhancer version from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3! Updated, and now it's gone! OS X loads faster than before, and there is not even a sign from that update_prebinding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNZ Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Turns out the new r3d3.kext is _vital_ to the whole operation. I replaced that with the new version, replaced mach_kernel and system.kext with the 8.10.1 versions, recycled the Extensions caches & permissions, rebooted and all is ok now! Turns out the old r3d3 was providing something essential to decrypt the loginwindow or somesuch. Now running 10.4.10 with a full 8.10.1 kernel! I didn't even realise that I had the Application Enhancer installed, apparently I did though, so I've updated to 2.0.3, see if that helps. *EDIT - Yep, that sorted it out. No more prebinding scanning on bootup. Good find Maculas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maculas Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Hey SteveNZ, I replaced only the r3d3.kext and mach_kernel, but not the System.kext, because I don't have it! Where did you get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
